hi folks, i know the title sounds too cool for what it is but it describes best my project... long story short i intend to charge a layden jar or self made capacitor with my tesla coil at distance trought a needle to have some (yeah ) sparks on a spark gap, the idea was to use like a DY86 vacuum tube (CRT rectifier) to have an hi voltage rectifier that may also be fast enough to cope with the ~600kHz of the tesla, seems to need some speed that not all the valves can deliver (kinda linked to anode surface?)... honestly i already tryed and no luck, not even an accidental shock and swearing
my question is::
considering that i happen to have a box of old (but working) valves from consumer TVs and radios what could do the job best? (if could)... i have some DY86\7 and U35 lookalikes, olso other "low" voltage diodes and stuff... just asking for a direction of choice or whatever suggestion
and at the end, what frequency a DY86 can reach? seems not specified
